6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your LensUltra 60mm Telephoto Lens.
6.1. Cleaning the Lens
Use the provided lens cleaning pen or a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lens surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the lens coating. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
6.2. Storage
Always store the lens in its innovative dual-purpose pouch when not in use. This protects the lens from dust, scratches, and impacts. Keep the lens in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
- Blurred Images: Ensure the lens is securely attached and properly aligned with your phone's camera. Check that your phone's autofocus is working correctly or manually adjust focus if available. Maintain the recommended focus distance of 30-40cm.
- Vignetting (Dark Corners): This can occur if the lens is not perfectly aligned or if your phone's camera is set to a wider angle than intended for the telephoto lens. Re-align the lens or adjust your phone's camera settings to use the main camera without digital zoom.
- Lens Blocking Camera View: If the lens appears to block your camera's view, especially on iPhones, enable 'Macro Control' in your phone's camera settings (Settings > Camera > Macro Control). For Android, toggle off 'Auto lens switching' in Camera Assistant (Galaxy Store). Refer to the setup videos for detailed steps.
